UK's Johnson says progress can be made to ease Qatar tensions
KUWAIT, July 8 (Reuters) - British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said on Saturday progress could be made to heal a rift between Qatar and other Arab states, although a solution was unlikely to be found immediately.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Bahrain have cut diplomatic and transport ties with Qatar over accusations it was financing terrorism, claims which Doha says are "baseless".
"My impression is progress can be made and there is a way forward," Johnson said in a televised interview released to media after meeting senior government figures in Kuwait which is attempting to mediate between the two sides. (Reporting by Michael Holden; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
